Jefferies maintains a 'Buy' on EOG Resources (NYSE: EOG) price target raised from $120 to $131.

Analyst, Biju Z. Perincheril, said, "EOG has substantial upside from its existing shale play through improving recovery factors, which will be a focus area for the company is '12. New areas such as the Wolfcamp and Vaca Muerta could also add to EOG's oil inventory. While EOG will outspend cash flows by a wide margin this year, it should get to cash flow neutral by the end of '13, if current oil prices hold."

"Increasing 2012 estimates, introducing 2013...2012 eps increases to $4.00 from $3.60 due to higher liquids volumes and lower G&A partially offset by higher DD&A. 2013 eps of $3.30 is based on an $85/$4 price deck and 7% overall y/y production growth."
